Starbucks Vending Machines

Recently they began their own record label (Hear Music). For some reason Paul McCartney decided to break off his 43 year partnership with EMI and go with the Starbucks label instead.

More Convenient Starbucks

Starbucks plan was to distribute their own vending machines for hot drinks.

With a simple swipe of a payment card (or with cash), a high-quality, hot latte or hot cocoa is served up in a ready-to-drink package in less than a minute. Utilizing proprietary packaging, each hot beverage will come in a convenient 9-fluid-ounce recyclable steel can with an insulating label, designed to keep the beverage warm, enjoyable, and still comfortable to the touch (source).

Convenient – but not quite as nice as having a chat to the barista about life, the universe, and the nature of coffee. Then again – I’m not even sure if you get that kind of service in a busy Starbucks outlet anyway.

Starbucks Fails Sometimes Too

Unfortunately, people will still have to head to the corner Starbucks for their coffee fix. This concept failed and is no longer being promoted.

Eww. That’ll probably be overpriced too. $6 for a small hot chocolate? NO thanks, ‘bucks.

Interesting concept. It would be good if you were in a pinch for a coffee. But Starbucks is more than just coffee, it’s an experience that can only be enjoyed in one of their stores.

I for one think this is an excellent Idea. I would love to get them into the movie theater chain that I work for. Customers are always asking for coffee at the concession stands but we are ill equiped to deliver a good cup of joe. This would satisfy their need for a caffeine fix and take the quality control out of our hands. Who can I call to get a dozen of these machines?

Email me, Please!
